Thoresby Bridge Goosanders

Return to location 09.00 this morning to find only 3 Goosanders remaining, all male.

All three were acting very calmly this morning, in contrast to the frantic activity seen yesterday.

3 Mallard still present, 2M - 1 F

Present on nearby Navigation Canal were,

2 Mute Swans
Moorhen
Little Grebe

Encountered at T road junction between North Thoresby and Tetney

5 Jackdaws at roadside puddle

Pond to the south side of Thoresby Bridge, 16.00hrs
Driving by I glimpsed black and white bird on water, turned round for further investigation despite weather.

11 Goosanders (6 male - 5 female on far end of pond

3 Mallard
Grey Heron
Moorhen
2 Blackheaded Gull

Weather conditions atrocious Very strong squally wind and heavy rain. Difficult to keep steady scope.
Birds very mobile, frequently out of water to bank and back.
Try and visit again tomorrow as weather forecast better.
Bad conditions but well worth it.
